Wild, Denmark scores two goals in final 3 minutes to knock out Canada 2-1 in the world quarterfinals. Good for hockey!

1993 is my guess too. The 1988 team started 29-21 and finished 88-74, in 2nd place one game behind Boston (not as close as it sounds - Boston had a big lead when they clinched). The 1988 team had the 4th best record in the AL so would have made the playoffs under expanded formats of later years. The 1971 team only started 27-23 but went on to a 91-71 finish for 2nd well behind Baltimore and the 3rd best record in the AL. The 1969 team only started 27-23 but went on to finish 90-72, which was a whopping 19 games behind AL East winner Baltimore but was the 3rd best record in the AL.

2025 Tigers: 33-17, 1st in MLB by 2.0 games, 1st in AL by 4.0 games, 1st in AL Central by 4.5 games Records of other notable Tigers teams after 50 games: 1934: 30-20 (101-53, lost WS) 1935: 27-23 (93-58, won WS) 1961: 33-17 (101-62, 2nd in AL) 1967: 31-19 (91-71, 2nd in AL) 1968: 31-19 (103-59, won WS) 1972: 28-22 (86-70, lost ALCS) 1984: 39-11 (104-58, won WS) 1987: 25-25 (98-64, lost ALCS) 1993: 30-20 (85-77, 3rd in AL East) 2006: 35-15 (95-67, lost WS 2012: 23-27 (88-74, lost WS) 2013: 29-21 (93-69, lost ALCS) 2014: 30-20 (90-72, lost ALDS) 2024: 23-27 (86-76, lost ALDS)

Series win against what had been a red-hot St. Louis team. 4-2 road trip. Tigers can do little wrong.

Big strikeout.

Ibanez’ reaction to getting hit seemed to be delayed by a split second but then it really sting him.

I change my opinion then. Only watched it once not paying close attention

Tork gets called out on the basepaths for the 2nd time today. I don’t blame him this time though.

10:15am for me. I like the quicker game times of the past couple of years, but when you combine that with what has become common 6:40pm ET start times, games are ending by 6pm my time, which seems really early. When since the 1950s have so many MLB games been done by 9pm ET. I think in the 1970s games at Tiger Stadium didn't even start until 8pm.

Cards announcer on Greene's hit: "There goes the no-hitter for Pallante". That was suspenseful.

That was a boring bottom of the 9th. Not complaining!

Kahnle coming on with a 1-run lead.

He has a point. And there was still room on the wall to have added No Cups.

Petersson is signed for the next years at $11.6mm per year. I wouldn’t touch Petersson unless the Canucks retained 1/3 and wanted only nominal assets back in return for him.

Who is that loser batting for St. Louis who is about to pop out for the final out of the '68 Series? Tim McCarver, that's who.

Ok, fun as it is to dunk on the Leafs, it’s past time for the Wings to get their house in order. That can start with Marner. I have no idea whether he would be interested though. I can see him thriving for a team out of the limelight like Carolina, Tampa, Kings, etc.

I’m a little, little man. I hate the Leafs almost as much as I love the Wings.

NEVER GETS OLD!!

Either you’re joking or else we really need to promote more traffic to the Red Wings section of this board, lol.

Twines lose. Tigers have a 5 game lead!

Guardians swept by the Reds.
